Day 10

I choose to thank You fo my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies (physical, mental, emotional, relational)…for the ways I fall short of what people view as ideal…for my feelings of helplessness and inferiority, and even my pain and distresses. What a comfort it is to know that You understand the feeling of my weaknesses!...and that in Your infinite wisdom You have allowed these in my life so that they may contribute to Your high purposes for me.

I specifically thank You for ___________________.

Thank You that may a time my weaknesses cut through my pride and help me walk humbly with You…and then, as You’ve promised, You give me more grace—You help and bless and strengthen me. Thank You for all the ways I’m inadequate, for they prod me to trsut in You and not in myself…and I’m grateful that my inadequacy comes from You, the all sufficient God who is enough!

Thank You that I can trust You to remove or change any of my weaknesses and handicaps and shortcomings the moment they are no longer needed for Your glory, and for my good, and for the meantime, Your grace is sufficient for me, for Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.

Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
